About James R. Jundt
The James R. Jundt Chair of Economics of Gonzaga University was endowed in 1989 by James R. Jundt, an alumnus of Gonzaga (’64) and a university trustee since 1988.
Born and raised in Yakima, Washington, Jundt received what he describes as “an education second to none” at Gonzaga. A life-long student of economics, he shares his love for learning with Gonzaga’s students through this endowed chair, bringing distinguished economists to the campus each year. He has also provided funding for experimental economics projects conducted by business school faculty in finance and economics classes.
The keynote addresses given by the Jundt professors provide added impetus to Gonzaga’s mission to meet the challenge of preparing students to be sound and ethical decision makers and contributors to the well-being of a global society.
